Howard K5HB BTW, I was one of the stations experimenting with Q25. So far it did not work very well. So, tell me, Howard... when did you stop QRM'ing the net? 73 Bonnie KQ6XA

Lately there has been a great deal of OLIVIA activity on 80M in the evenings, the other night I found 4 or 5 QSO's going on aty the same time using 500/16 Think you are right that these modes will become used a little more as the cycle changes. The great part about cycle are the number of

You are joking, right? We are having a QSO, you come on and transmit at the same time we are, and you claim we are causing QRM for you? You are also a WL2K fan, right? Howard K5HB From: expeditionradio expeditionra...@yahoo.com To:

What worldwide ECOMM is going on right now, that 14.109 must be set aside for just ALE? None that I know of. I understand a need for ecomm's, but please to say a certain freq is just for ecomm is a little out there, if there is no emergencies going on but wait maybe with the fires in VK land,

What further information did you need, Tooner? There is no conflict with using wide modes (FCC defined as up to the bandwidth of a communications quality phone transmission) as long as the baud rate of an individual tone does not exceed 300 baud. 73, Rick, KV9U Tooner wrote: whatever came

Good morning to all, I should know better than to post this, but I'm going to anyways. Had I known this was going to cause such an uproar, I never would have posted the fact that I was sitting on 14.109 USB, waiting for people to connect to my fully attended station. It was just sitting there

All, I know this is a little off topic (forgive me Andy) but with the high winds we've been having, I thought it was worth mentioning. We had wind gusts over 50 MPH today and they were strong enough to snap the mast pin on my rotator. The tower was cranked all the way down at the time. The

Hello, all (or CQ, if you prefer); I'm still fairly inexperienced at the whole amateur radio thing - so far, I have my basic license and a VHF handheld. I'd like to start exploring digital modes, and am hoping that you might be able to suggest what sort of rig would work well for that. I do have

Sorry to hear your news Tony. I had 60 MPH winds and lost 2 antennae, both hombrewed so I can rebuild. We have exceeded 200 inches of snow so far this winter, most of it hard packed on my roof over December-February. The warm spell caused a mini avalanche off my roof in to my driveway on

Hi Daniel, welcome neighbour... I am just about 40 miles from you, If you are planning just to do the VHF band, you are kinda limited . There is not a whole of digital mode activity on VHF other than packet radio, mostly APRS. There are a few people that try digital modes like PSK on 2 meters

Andy, I'm sorry to hear about the antennas and the Van. It sounds like it was unoccupied at the time so thank God for that. I should have done more to prevent my situation, but it's an easy fix. A new mast pin doesn't cost much so I'm glad it let go instead of the rotator. I'll get
